Some pipeline security and surveillance contractors under President
Goodluck Jonathan have written an open letter to President Muhammadu
Buhari on the need to settle the debt the past government was owing
them.
The letter made available to DAILY POST on Monday was signed
by the contractors who included the company names under which they
secured the jobs.
They are Dr. Fredrick Faseun – New Age NIG. Ltd;
Otunba Gani Adams – Donyx Global Concept Ltd; Alhaji Asari Dokubo –
ATEF Nig. Ltd; High Chief Bibo Pere Ajube – Galery Security Services
Ltd; Chief Joshua Machiever – Bajeros NIG Ltd; High Chief Omo O. – Close
Body Protection Ltd and Izon Ibe Security Ltd
It will be recalled that the All Progressives Congress (APC) kicked
against the award of pipeline security to groups by Jonathan
administration, insisting that the development undermines the duties of
the Nigerian Navy.
Expectedly, President Muhammadu Buhari, cancelled the contract few days after he assumed office.
But
the contractors in the statement argued that they were in possession of
valid and duly signed contract agreements with the management of the
NNPC to protect the pipelines for a period of three months.
“Up on
till now, the public perception of the NNPC Pipeline Security and
Surveillance job was that former President, Goodluck Jonathan gave the
job to the contractors on the platter of politics,” they noted.

letter reads in full:
